The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) represents both Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants. The APTA offers benefits which should be explored while still a student at www.apta.org. While still a student, the membership dues are low and you have all the benefits of learning about the profession and keeping up with the latest issues affecting your chosen profession.

The OTPTATC board is the licensing board of the Physical Therapy profession in Ohio. Licensing requirements vary from state to state. The student will pass both state and national licensing examinations following graduation to become licensed. The state of Ohio requires 12 continuing education hours every two years to maintain current licensure.

The Ohio section of the American Physical Therapy Association is a state organization providing professional development and leadership to the PTA and PT.

This link in the www.apta.org website is an excellent resource to explain the profession from both the PT and PTA perspective.
